Use a wooden spoon. The more a pudding is stirred, the better.  Plain flour is better than self-raising for use in puddings.  Allow the eggs to stand for an hour or so at room temperature before addingthem to the mixture. Break each separately into a cup, in case any are "off".  Adding finely grated raw carrot to a pudding will help keep it moist during storage. more follows >Home File Index 480 Fit & Well 485Health Childcare Best Buys Your Money

They should be made of sterling silver and must be sterilised by scalding in boiling water before they are added. Add them as you fill the basin.  For the basins, use either plain white kitchen pudding basins or toughened glass ones that can withstandboiling water.  Puddings should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated place, such as a larder or cupboard. Do not store them in a tin, as they might become sweaty or mouldy. recipe follows >Home File Index 480 Fit & Well 485Health Childcare Best Buy3 Your Money
